Investigators say the suspect attended the complainant’s home on two separate occasions, where he allegedly banged on the door while making racist and anti-Semitic remarks. On a third visit, police say the suspect stood outside the residence and played a speech by Adolf Hitler on his cellphone.
Police identified the accused as Rostam Rashidkhani, 27, of Toronto who has been charged with:
Two counts of criminal harassment
Two counts of mischief – interfering with the lawful enjoyment of property
One count of causing a disturbance
Rashidkhani is scheduled to appear in court at the Ontario Court of Justice, located at 10 Armoury Street, on June 1, 2026, at 2 p.m. in Room 202.
Police say the investigation is being treated as a suspected hate-motivated offence by the Toronto Police Hate Crime Unit.
